Abdullah Khafif
Khafif set out on pilgrimage to the Holy Ka’ba, He only carried with him a jug and a rope with which he would draw water. As he journeyed through the wilderness he saw many deer standing at the top of a wall drinking water. As he approached they all ran away and the level of water also went down. Inspite of all his efforts he could not draw water from this lower level. He prayed to Allah to raise the level of water as he had done previously for the deer. The Divine voice was heard in reply, “We cannot do so as you rely upon the rope and jug besides Us”. Immediately Khafif threw away the jug and rope and the water level rose and he was able to quench his thirst. When he related the incident to Hadhrat Junaid in Makkah he said, “The Almighty was testing your dependence on Him. Had you waited patiently longer the water would have overflowed to the top.” (Tadhkeratul Auliya)
